The real monastic walks through life with a barefooted soul, alert, aware, grateful, and only partially at home. ~ Joan Chittister

Thankful for... Perspective

You see, I have these friends. Some of them write, but many of them don't. Those who don't have wonderful stories to tell when they happen to be near. They live and serve on every continent, in many nations, and they inspire me with their faith and sacrifice. Most of them would say it isn't sacrifice. I strive to live that way here, in the midst of our culture, but it is a longer, harder process than I expected. Living simply and simply loving people ~ its a beautiful calling and truly one Christ beckons us all to.
